MultiChoice has revealed its annual price adjustments for 2018, which will kick in on 1 April.<\/p>\n

The pay-TV broadcaster increases its prices in South Africa every year on the same day.<\/p>\n

As in 2017, DStv Access and DStv EasyView prices will not increase. MultiChoice has elected to increase its Access Fee price by nearly 6%, however, after\u00a0leaving it unchanged last year<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MultiChoice said it did its best to\u00a0keep subscription fees down in 2017, despite the tough economic climate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re committed to keep improving our offering so it gets better every year,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

This year, the economic climate has improved and the rand has strengthened significantly against the dollar \u2013 resulting in below-inflation increases.<\/p>\n
